Ekana Stadium Pitch Report: The 11th match of IPL 2024 will be played tomorrow (30 March) between Lucknow Super Giants and Punjab Kings. This match will be held at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Lucknow will look for its first win of this season through the match played on home ground. Earlier, Lucknow had lost the match played against Rajasthan Royals by 20 runs. But the pitch of Ekana Stadium is not going to be easy for Lucknow and Punjab. So let us know here whether the pitch will help the batsmen or the bowlers.
Actually, the pitch of Lucknow is called the graveyard of batsmen. Scoring runs at Ekana Stadium is not a matter of every batsman and team. The bowlers enjoy bowling here a lot. In the last season i.e. 2023 IPL, there was a lot of chaos on the pitch of Ekana Stadium in Lucknow because the batsmen were completely failing here. But this time it will be easier for the batsmen to play here? Let us know.
How will the Ikana pitch behave?
In IPL 2023, the batsmen did not like Ikana's pitch at all. After criticism in the IPL, the pitch here was rebuilt for the ODI World Cup 2023. But in the five matches played in the World Cup, the 300 mark was crossed only once. In such a situation, once again a low scoring match is expected. Now it will be interesting to see how the pitch will behave in the match played between Punjab and Lucknow.
